Hi,

Thanks for the reponse. This works but I dont quite understand it...

So copylist  is now basically a list with two listed values

How does it pick up dest when its not really designated as a list item with
a dash (-)?
I wouldve expected -dest to be listed aswell twice


The dash indicate start of a list item.
And item contains a dictionary, this has two element src and dest.

You can write a list of dictionary in two ways

copylist:
  - src: /home/ansible/tom/tom.txt
dest: /home/ansible/tom1
  - src: /home/ansible/fred/fred.txt
dest: /home/ansible/fred1

or

copylist:
  - {'src':'/home/ansible/tom/tom.txt', 'dest':'/home/ansible/tom1'}
  - {'src':'/home/ansible/fred/fred.txt', 'dest':'/home/ansible/fred1'}

Which syntax used, come down to personal preferences.

Thanks for the reponse. This works but I dont quite understand it...

So copylist  is now basically a list with two listed values

Trying to get a playbook working with yml file containing 2 lists and
passing that into the main file to loop over.

Can someone help with letting me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
  
copylist.yml

copylist:
 src:
   - /home/ansible/tom/tom.txt
   - /home/ansible/fred/fred.txt
 dest:
   - /home/ansible/tom1
   - /home/ansible/fred1


This is not a list its a dictionary.



Playbook - copy.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
   become: yes
   vars:
 users:
   - tom
   - fred
   vars_files:
   - copylist.yml
   tasks:
 - name: Create users from vars
   user:
 name: "{{item}}"
 state: present
   with_items: "{{users}}"


 - name: Copy files into target directories
   copy:
 src: "{{item.src}}"
 dest: "{{item.dest}}"
   with_items: "{{copylist}}"

Since copylist is not a list but a dictionary this fails.

You need to write copylist as list you like this and you task will work.

copylist:
  - src: /home/ansible/tom/tom.txt
dest: /home/ansible/tom1
  - src: /home/ansible/fred/fred.txt
dest: /home/ansible/fred1
